Killzone 2

How many of you have seen the new trailer? It looks to good to be realtime but Sony claims it is :shock: .

Yep, seen it. I have my doubts to it being realtime though. After all, Sony are known for lying. It could well be realtime - the realtime playback of a video file. They could be showing off "realtime MPEG-4 decoding". I have my doubts. However, given the supposed power of the console, it could also be real. In short: Sony is a case of the company that cried wolf.

Ahh the trailer that sent xbox fanboys into a fit of histeria. Sony claims that it will be that good when it goes gold ... but xboxers refuse to believe it. I think it should be possible but i am just going to wait patiently.

I don't think sony said that was in realtime, but I can imagine to an extent that actual gameplay will be similar, but still not enough to convince my to drop $450 to play one game. Ehh...it's nothing compare to play 8bit mario on the revolution. :)

i've seen the trailer, but in VERY bad quality (24 kbs streaming movie anyone?)
It didn't look to spectacular, because of the terrible quality.

Well, there's always Oblivion. That looks freakin awesome, and is for xbox 360 too.

Oblivion has far from the same quality of graphics. Dl the 640x480 mov file of Killzone 2, not even UE3.0 can compete against that vid if it truly is pure gameplay footage.

They said that the footage was pre-rendered but only because developers still only have alphs devkits which dont operate even remotely close to the final hardware. So sony are claiming that it will be possible on the final machine but that the footage was pre-rendered for the previous reasons.

This is ofcourse very common when new consoles roll out.

So their guessing it's gonna look that pretty? But I do have to admit the other PS3 demos looked great. :shock:

IMO an elder scrolls game does not need to be on anything without a mouse. Xbox controllers are horrible for FPS and elder scrolls are FPRPGs, so... bah. I'm going to get oblivion when it comes out, but for PC of course (and when I have my good computer up and powerful). AND the PC version will obviously be a billion times easier to mod for :) So, down with xbox and up with a REAL computer :twisted:

The other PS3 techdemos also look pretty impressive. Especially compared to the Xbox360.

Killzone 2 is inspiring since it provides the game designer with everything to make an awesome game. If only something like that we're possible on the PC I would surely mod for it.

I've seen the Killzone preview, and I have to say it looks pretty good. As already said, it isnt rendered in realtime so it is still to be seen how the final hardware will draw it.
